In addition to the two new cases, one historical case has been identified. This person arrived on 12 June from India via Qatar and the historical case was identified during routine day 12 testing. They have been in an Auckland managed isolation facility since arrival.

Australian traveller who visited Wellington

So far, 2,695 people have been identified as contacts of the Australian person who visited Wellington between 19 and 21 June.

Of those 2,695 total contacts, 2,627 or 97% of people have returned a negative result, an increase of 44 negative test results since yesterday.

32 people have been granted a clinical exemption and eight have returned overseas which means their home jurisdiction will be following up with them.

The remaining contacts are being actively followed up by contact tracing teams.
